Thank you for your participation!

This three-to-four-year project will honor the legacy of Bishop McKinley, told through the personal experiences and stories of people connected to him.

Through research and reflection, I’ll shape my approach and craft the narrative arc of the project. I look forward to reconnecting with contributors in years to come and inviting you to help shape the story we’re creating together.
